Ah, The Ted Kennedy Criteria

by Smitty (h/t Terry Cowgill at Big Media) Giving Dick Blumenthal the benefit of the doubt, he probably didn’t wake up one morning and say to himself “I wonder if I could score some favor with the Veteran crowd by having them on about my service record. . .” while he was shaving. In general, […]

Despite Re-Tweet by Alyssa Milano, Mickey Kaus Still Senate ‘Long Shot’

Ever since Alyssa re-Tweeted him Oct. 28, Mickey Kaus has been the envy of bloggers everywhere (or at least, bloggers around here). However, that kind of New Media energy — dude, she’s got more than 830,000 followers — has not yet developed into an electoral tsunami: In a year when Tea Party activists and the GOP […]

Following Up On Thoughtful Remarks From wallamaarif

by Smitty Commenter wallamaarif offers comments #17 and #20 on Get Stuffed, Alan Colmes that merit examination. Before delving into details, let’s note that the overwhelming bulk of human history, and, indeed, the contemporary situation, has featured unrepresentative regimes.

Lesbian for Life or Gay Baby-Killer? Does Elena Kagan Support Roe v. Wade?

Privately, she’s gay enough for Obama, and her anti-military record at Harvard should get Elena Kagan lots of kudos from “Blame America First” Democrats. But the pro-life Susan B.

What Will We Do With Census Workers To Keep Unemployment Down?

by Smitty (via Digg) After the Census is taken, the job numbers would be likely to tank.
